OT seems to be a popular pick for Buffalo on these mocks, but I'm still skeptical. Cordy Glenn and Chris Hairston have looked good enough, that unless they disappoint this year, I don't think OT will be a top need.

CB, LB, DE, and TE would all be bigger weakness on Buffalo's roster. S too if we can't hold on to Byrd, and possibly WR if none of our young players at the position stand out this year.

Then maybe grab a guard in the second and plug the biggest hole on the OL directly.

Chris Hairston is okay, but he is pretty slow-footed and unathletic. With the way the game is evolving, right tackles are not just huge, mauling run-blockers now. Especially with EJ Manuel, who is best and actually more accurate outside on the pocket and on the move, a quick, balanced right tackle becomes a necessity. With Clowney and Barr off the board, I think the Bills would be smart to pick Matthews there. BPA and really improves that O-Line for a young QB._________________

I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but I keep seeing the same player mocked to us at a similar slot. If we're picking that high we have bigger concerns than TE.

Maybe - but don't be so quick to discount that Austin Seferian-Jenkins might be one of the best players available and fill a HUGE need for the Bucs at the same time. I assume you are inferring that Josh Freeman couldn't get it done if they are slotted at 11, so you would like to see a QB. All the elite QB prospects, in my mock, are off the board at that point, so why reach for a QB when someone in the tier of Aaron Murray // Derek Carr // AJ McCarron will be available in round 2, and guys like Bryn Renner // Stephen Morris // Zach Mettenberger // Keith Price will be there in the 3rd or later? It is a deep and talented QB class this year, and unless the Bucs can grab someone where I see them picking (10-15 range) who will IMMEDIATELY provide an upgrade over Freeman, then they would be best served to wait a round or two._________________

Maybe QB is the problem, or there's a good chance it's on the defensive line. Unlike many, I'm not enamored with this upcoming QB class. I see one elite prospect, a couple of solid but unspectacular types, a handful of toolsy question marks and a the rest is a lot of garbage. I wouldn't even be pressing for a QB in the first unless we were picking first or second, and even then I might lean Clowney over Bridgewater. Having great TE would be awesome, but it feels more like a luxury than a necessity._________________

I like Stephon Tuitt and dont think it is too high. But, if KC is picking #9, theyve likely won no more than 6 games. This could mean Alex Smith has not performed to expectations. If thats the case and Taj Boyd is available, he could be the pick. I know you arent including trades, but even if Alex Smiths charm has not worn off, KC would try to trade down to a QB starved team in this scenario.
